063 Cycle Touring the USA (2) - Part 2

(Leana) #1

(^112) Mitchell – Sioux Falls - 115 km

My morning coffee was in the company of one of the other campers,
and I chatted for ages with two bikers travelling around the USA.
Biking through Mitchell turned out to be quite interesting. The town
was, fittingly, home to a Corn Palace, a magnificent multipurpose
building where the murals were made of cob.
Stalls sold all kinds of corn-related items, including racks and racks of
T-shirts and other trinkets. Following a bite to eat, the time was past
11h00 when I pedalled out of Mitchell.
A minor route took me past the small and fascinating towns of
Alexandria, Emery and Bridgewater. These towns were lovely, and
looked like part of a movie set, to such an extent that I was surprised
to find ordinary people living there.
